PROGRAMS

The Pipeline of Light is a book placement program operated by the Urantia Book Fellowship. It collects donations and uses them to purchase and ship copies of The Urantia Book (in multiple languages) to readers and study groups in countries where the book is difficult or impossible to obtain. Since its inception, the Pipeline has placed more than 13,000 books in dozens of countries across Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

UBIS is a free, online educational program operated by Urantia Foundation. It offers structured courses on The Urantia Book using a question-and-answer Socratic method. Courses are facilitated by trained teacher-facilitators and run in multiple trimesters per year. UBIS has served over 1,050 students and operates in 8 languages, making quality Urantia Book education accessible to readers worldwide.

Urantia Foundation coordinates the translation of The Urantia Book into the world's major languages. This work is painstaking, often taking a decade or more per translation, as translators must render complex philosophical, scientific, and spiritual terminology with precision. As of 2024, the book has been published in 17+ languages, with the Chinese translation marking one of the most significant recent milestones. Additional translations are in progress.

The major Urantia organizations host regular conferences that bring together readers for study, fellowship, and community building. The Urantia Book Fellowship holds triennial International Conferences (IC), with IC'26 scheduled for the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California. Urantia Association International hosts its own international conferences. Regional and national conferences are held throughout the year across the globe.

Urantia Book readers and organizations have participated in the Parliament of the World's Religions, one of the largest interfaith gatherings on the planet. Participation in the Parliament represents the Urantia community's engagement with the broader religious and spiritual world, introducing The Urantia Book to seekers from hundreds of faith traditions.

The historic building at 533 W. Diversey Parkway in Chicago, Illinois, is where The Urantia Papers were received, where the Forum met, and where Urantia Foundation has been headquartered since 1950. The building serves as both the operational center of the Foundation and a pilgrimage site for readers who wish to visit the physical location where the revelation was stewarded into existence. It hosts events, study groups, and tours.
